- original position by the action of the spring Apushed backward with 'by the beveled end 6l of' the pawl.

which by mechanism forming no part of this l invention the force of the spring 16 throws l the cartridge violently out of the receiver. The empty cartridge abuts against the ejector I 22, which obliges it to swing to one side, which motion causes its expulsion. The reari ward motion ofthe breech-blockCcompresses i the spring 16 in its placeand renders free the magazine in the frame of the pistol. This l rearward motion is stopped by the two lugs 20 upon the plate 14 of the breech-block, said lugs striking against the lugs 110 ofthe coverpiece. The rearward motion being stopped and the breech-block not beingheld, it moves forwardly by the action of the spring 16. i During this forward motion a fresh cartridge coming from the magaaine is introduced in the barrel and the firing-pin is cocked, as has been explained above, and the pistol is again cocked.

When the mechanism of the pistol is to be operated without firing, the breech-block is the hand by taking hold of the two lugs 20, and the cartridge which is charged is taken hold of by the extractor 7, continuing its movement and being swung to the side by the ejector 22.

As the pawl 6 partakes of the movement of the trigger it necessarily leaves the end of the rod 4 to follow the impulse imparted to the same by the springl 25. When the rose of the Sear 3 has engaged the projection of the firing-pin, the rod 4 is brought back to its 25. The pawl 6 cannot hinder this, because at thistime it is located above the rod and is lie/id' there by the continued pressure of the iin er on the trigger. When thefinger ceases to/fpress on the trigger, the trigger returns to tsoriginal position by means of the spring 9. The pawl 6, situated above the rod 4, has been compelled in order to clear the rod to turn around its pivot 62, the action being facilitated It returns, however, into position by the action of the coilspring 26, which presses on the pawl 6. f

Y 1 claim as new and desire tei'rs Patent-- to secure by Let- A repeating pistol, comprising a frame,

a cover-piece having a slot therein, downwardly-extending lugs at the rear of said cover-piece, a breech-block movable between said coverpiece and said frame and having upwardly-extending ings entering the slot in the former, side lugs on said breech-block cooperating with said downwardly-extending lugs of the cover-piece for limiting the movement of said breech-block, a spring-actuated tiring-pin in said breech-block, means for releasing the spring thereof, and a spring in said cover-piece for moving said breech-block in a forward direction.
